Conference Series on Gambling
Gambling careers: Description, meaning and impact on prevention
The Ministry of Health and Social Services, the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Société et culture, and the Research Chair on Gambling have collaborated to propose a unique event involving researchers from Quebec and elsewhere who are dedicated to advancing knowledge and reflection geared toward improving existing models of prevention and intervention.
The development of knowledge about the consequences of gambling, the reinforcement of prevention and the detection of problem gambling, as well as the improvement of existing means of intervention are priorities of the government, in conformity with its Action plan on pathological gambling.
Presentations were designed to foster discussion about gambling pathways, gambler characteristics, as well as social and material factors to consider in better understanding the realities of gamblers and their gambling patterns.
